Carters science project

2. Undifferentiated cells found in the growing regions of plants that are responsible for cell division and growth.
3. Cells with thick, lignified cell walls that provide rigid support to plant structures.
6. The stalk that attaches a leaf to the stem of a plant.
8. A type of meristem that produces new cells for secondary growth, leading to the thickening of stems and roots.
9. The underground part of a plant that anchors it in the soil, absorbs water and nutrients, and stores food
10. Simple plant cells that are involved in photosynthesis, storage, and support.
12. A complex tissue responsible for water and mineral transport from roots to other parts of the plant.
13. Another complex tissue involved in the transport of organic compounds, such as sugars, throughout the plant.
14. Slender extensions of root epidermal cells that increase the surface area for absorption of water and minerals.

1. Hair-like structures on the surface of leaves, stems, and other plant parts that serve various functions like protection, water retention, and secretion.
4. Elongated cells with thickened cell walls that provide flexible support to growing plant parts.
5. The outermost layer of cells that covers the surface of leaves, stems, and roots.
7. Specialized cells that control the opening and closing of stomata.
11. Small openings or pores in the epidermis of leaves and stems that allow gas exchange and regulate water loss.
15. The main structural axis of a plant that provides support and transports water, nutrients, and sugars between roots and leaves.
